=== Donation ===
* In Taipei we placed a donation box near the door of the space. At the beginning of events, we tell people about Mozilla, how to join for a better future, and also explain the cost of the space: The rent and equipments are mostly sponsored by Mozilla, and we (volunteer) paid the utility bills, and they are free to donate for the bills.
* We also have partnered with a local FLOSS community, TOSSUG, which provide many toy catfishes (their mascot) for the donators.
* The way we manage the donations is pretty decentralized, and everyone can check where the money goes. [http://blog.bobchao.net/2010/07/moztw.html Bob Chao have wrote an article about it], basically:
  * It's not that easy to earn the trust from so many Mozillians to become a keyholder. So you got the key means we trust you.
  * Since we trust the keyholders, we count on the keyholders to collect donations before (s)he leave the space, and add a note on the online daybook to help others know how much we got today.
  * If a keyholder feels we need something for the space (say garbage bag,) just rise the issue on keyholders' Telegram channel, buy it and add another note on the online daybook.
* We are carefully clam that the donation in the space goes to the volunteer community, and people are encouraged to donate to Mozilla on Mozilla's website.
